πOn the occasion of Mental Health Week 2023, the Canadian government has announced a commitment to providing better mental health resources for individuals from 2SLGBTQI+ communities. The Community-Based Research Centre (CBRC) will receive $2.8 million in funding to support "Investigaytors," a community-based program designed to promote good mental health by fostering mental health literacy, social connection, and problem-solving skills. This initiative is expected to benefit 13,000 2SLGBTQI+ individuals while also improving the knowledge and capacity of 11,000 stakeholders, including healthcare providers and policymakers, to deliver culturally competent and safe care for 2SLGBTQI+ populations. The announcement aligns with the government's broader investments in Budget 2023, which includes a plan to invest almost $200 billion over 10 years to enhance healthcare services for Canadians, reduce surgical backlogs, and support healthcare workers.β . . #Canada #MentalHealth #LGBTQI #2SLGBTQI #Investment #Support #HealthForAll #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
